Wintegra and WiChorus Announce Successful Mobile WiMAX Interoperability Testing

(Top News, 22 May 2008)

Fabless semiconductor company Wintegra and WiChorus successfully completed interoperability testing (IOT) between WiChorus' Intelligent ASN gateway and Wintegra's Mobile WiMAX base station technology, demonstrating seamless end-to-end connectivity between the base station technology platform and Intelligent ASN Gateway, based on the R6 interface within the WiMAX Forum's NWG Specification.

WiChorus provides a new class of intelligent wireless core platform that enables service providers to deploy large scale, profitable WiMAX and LTE (Long Term Evolution) networks. "WiChorus has continued to show commitment to build an open eco-system for best-of-breed WiMAX," says Rehan Jalil, President and CEO of WiChorus. "We are excited to partner with Wintegra and have them join our One Open WiMax initiative. This testing offers our ASN-Gateway and Home Agent customers significant added value by allowing them to get their services to market more quickly by helping to realize the promise of WiMax as a truly open and interoperable standard."

The partnership also benefits Wintegra's silicon customers by allowing them the ability to accelerate their time to market for their WiMax base station products. Wintegra and WiChorus have worked to integrate and test their solutions as part of the Wintegra WiMAX 1.0 production release.

Wintegra will continue to invest in WiMAX technology to develop new cutting-edge WiMAX features. The company is planning a follow up WiMAX 1.1 production release during the second half of this year that will add to the feature set already supported. WiChorus and Wintegra will continue to work together on a joint IOT program to ensure that the mobile WiMAX experience is simplified and seamless for partners, vendors, and mobile operators. In addition, the two companies are collaborating on a similar initiative for LTE.
